Warfighter - Legal Environment
Domestically, if the warfighter authority is exercised under the President\'s constitutional authority as commander-in-chief, such authority would arguably supersede domestic statutes such as the Federal Wiretap Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and the ECPA, though as indicated earlier, the case law is scant and somewhat unclear. Compliance with constitutional requirements, such as the Fourth Amendment would still generally be required, subject to the myriad of exceptions already recognized by the courts.
